NAME

       sss_seed - seed the SSSD cache with a user

SYNOPSIS

       sss_seed [options] -D DOMAIN -n USER

DESCRIPTION

       sss_seed seeds the SSSD cache with a user entry and temporary password. If a user entry is already present in the SSSD cache then the entry
       is updated with the temporary password.

OPTIONS

       -D,--domain DOMAIN
	   Provide the name of the domain in which the user is a member of. The domain is also used to retrieve user information. The domain must
	   be configured in sssd.conf. The DOMAIN option must be provided. Information retrieved from the domain overrides what is provided in the
	   options.

       -n,--username USER
	   The username of the entry to be created or modified in the cache. The USER option must be provided.

       -u,--uid UID
	   Set the UID of the user to UID.

       -g,--gid GID
	   Set the GID of the user to GID.

       -c,--gecos COMMENT
	   Any text string describing the user. Often used as the field for the user's full name.

       -h,--home HOME_DIR
	   Set the home directory of the user to HOME_DIR.

       -s,--shell SHELL
	   Set the login shell of the user to SHELL.

       -i,--interactive
	   Interactive mode for entering user information. This option will only prompt for information not provided in the options or retrieved
	   from the domain.

       -p,--password-file PASS_FILE
	   Specify file to read user's password from. (if not specified password is prompted for)

       -?,--help
	   Display help message and exit.

NOTES

       The length of the password (or the size of file specified with -p or --password-file option) must be less than or equal to PASS_MAX bytes
       (64 bytes on systems with no globally-defined PASS_MAX value).

THE LOCAL DOMAIN

       In order to function correctly, a domain with "id_provider=local" must be created and the SSSD must be running.

       The administrator might want to use the SSSD local users instead of traditional UNIX users in cases where the group nesting (see
       sss_groupadd(8)) is needed. The local users are also useful for testing and development of the SSSD without having to deploy a full remote
       server. The sss_user* and sss_group* tools use a local LDB storage to store users and groups.
